now police want to talk to both stars about what set him off. and good morning to you. robin and george both off today. they have earned a day off. it is memorial day and we're glad to have elizabeth vargas. >> it's nice to be here on this holiday morning. >> as we pay tribute, of course, to those who have lost their lives. made the ultimate sacrifice defending the freedoms of this country and this morning we are still a nation at war. more than 80,000 forces still in afghanistan, more danger zones erupting in the region and to that end we'll get the latest from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who joins us from washington. >> we'll switch to an entirely different subject. a no-go for gaga. she cancels her sold out concert in indonesia.

was her safety really at risk? we'll tell you what lady gaga has to say about the controversy. we know a lot have been issuing death threats. they were very upset about the way she dresses and the things about when i she sings so we'll wade into that. we'll introduce you to an 80-year-old woman who survived a sky dive. her very first one. it, in fact, went horribly awry. she, though, tells us about the fear she felt and she hung on for her life. >> she looks like she's trying to say i changed my mind. i don't want to go. that's what i see. >> i think it's better to stand on the ground and go, whoa, look at that. >> what do you know. >> what do you know. but we begin with tropical storm beryl. sam champion has been tracking the storm and, boy, this is a real rainmaker. >> with wind, as well. good morning. on our weekend rushes the beach, a dangerous memorial day weekend kind of killer and let's look and show you what's going on with this thing.

as we watch this giant spiraling storm move inland, 12:10, four miles away from a hurricane, powerful, 20,000 to 30,000 without power. multiple inches of rain and also know there were some powerful thunderstorms kicking off around this thing. the rain in gold and wrapping all around so looking for storms and tornado watches and warnings and in the area and our ginger zee is standing right in the middle of it on jacksonville beach or as we like to call it, jack's beach. good morning, ginger. how are you. >> good morning, sam, good morning, everyone. jack's beach still has wind gusts up to 40 miles an hour. at one point it was up to 70 miles per hour, so this whole thing did its best, beryl, at trying to become a hurricane. but it did a great job at deleting half of memorial day weekend. beryl hit hard overnight. sweeping ashore and lashing the coast of north florida and georgia with near hurricane-strength winds and

heavy rain. so it's just go 2:45 a.m. and the rain starting to pick up again. look where we're at now. we're just getting into the back side of the system, the heaviest rain going to move in now. overnight reports of downed trees and power lines and more than 24,000 homes are without power. >> i'm encouraging all area residents to stay indoors and off the streets as the storm hits. >> as the storm intensified sunday, the city of jacksonville and surrounding counties declared states of emergency. shutting down bridges, canceling memorial day events and closing beaches. >> i didn't think it was going to be this bad. >> i was expecting not so much gust, maybe 20 miles an hour. >> you are the iffer north, in washington, d.c. late sunday, a strong line of thunderstorms sent people at the national memorial day concert on the mall running for cover. >> we do have a severe weather warning and ask that everybody leave in an orderly fashion. >> there is a huge positive at

the end of this storm. 5 to 10 inches of rain in northeast florida will put a dent in the excessive drought are that they've been enduring. josh? >> good news. meanwhile, from beryl to the soaring temperatures across much of the country. as we said more than 200 heat records smashed over this holiday weekend and that heat now fueling wildfires across thousands of acres. abc's alex perez is in chicago with the latest. >> reporter: across the country's midsection this morning sweltering heat and blustery winds are fueling fires in nine states. in new mexico, these are the charred remains of several cabins near the gila national forest. a raging fire there has blazed through more than 120,000 acres. meanwhile, from ohio to wisconsin, record high temperatures put a damper on the memorial day weekend. at the indy 500 sunday, the track reached a blistering 130

degrees. >> my boot just melted to the throttle. >> reporter: 17 medical units jammed with fans suffering from heat exhaustion while in madison, wisconsin, a record high 94 degrees forced organizers to cancel that city's marathon. and here in chicago, heat exhaustion sent five firefighters to the hospital as they battled an apartment fire. and those firefighters here in chicago were working under an oppressive 97 degree. luckily, they all are expected to be okay. josh gentleman. >> thank you, alex, again, something to keep an eye on this memorial day. let's turn to "gma weekend" anchor dan harris with the other news of the morning. good morning. >> hey, good morning to you. good morning, everybody. we'll start with what could be a major development in the ace of etan patz, the 6-year-old boy who vanished on his way to the bus stop 33 years ago, turns out the suspect, pedro hernandez seen here reportedly confessed in the early '80s admitting to his prayer group he had

strangled a buy boy. the former leader of that group says it wasn't his play to tell police because it was in a one-on-one confession. a pilot plunges into san diego bay. >> oh, no. >> no, he's going towards the water. >> that small plane just missed a hotel while making an emergency landing. it had been pulling a banner for a local business when the engine sputtered out. the two on board were able to get out safely before it sank. another incredible escape after a small plane crashed into the side of a mountain in idaho. three inside. the pilot's daughter able to get through to 911. >> i am in an airplane and i crashed. i'm in the mountains. i need you to send a search party please. >> what followed was a desperate 15 hours waiting for rescuers to arrive by chopper. they finally did arrive fighting six-foot snow drifts.

the family was air lifted out, treated at a hospital and they are all okay. dario franchitti has picked up his third indy 500 victory just barely escaping a cross before crossing the finish line and paid tribute to last year's indy winner and close friend dan wheldon sporting his signature white sunglasses. wheldon died in a crash last october. finally, i do not have the words to fully express how much i love this story. this is about a stray dog who recently joined this group of bikers on a thousand-mile trek across china. she followed them for 20 days running 37 miles a day, never falling behind and climbing 12 mountains in the process. one of those bikers is now going to adopt her. it is possible apparently -- check this out. 300 bikers started that trek. only 3 made it and the dog. >> that sounds like 9 dog has already adopted the bikers. yeah. >> you're right. >> wow. all right.

dan, thank you so much. now to an historic scandal rocking the vatican. pope benedict's butler is under arrest accused of stealing and leaking top secret papal documents but the case may be more complicated than it seems. abc's jeffrey kofman joins us with the latest from rome. jeffrey, good morning to you. >> reporter: and rainy good morning to you, elizabeth. ho ho who would believe one of the pope's trusted aides who helps him dress and serves him his meals is under arrest? but did the butler really do it? he is always at the pope's side. here is butler paolo gabriele pouring papal wine and that's him in the front seat of the popemobile literally at the pope's right hand. but now the loyal butler under arrest accused of betraying the man he serves by leaking embarrassing confidential vatican documents to the italian

media. do you think the butler did it. >> i think the butler is a simple person to do something on his own. >> reporter: you think if it happened, there are others helping him. >> if it happened, there are others helping him and maybe leading him. >> reporter: the leaked documents have been making headlines here for months exposing money laundering and kickbacks at the secretive vatican bank, the head of the bank who said he was trying to clean it up fired last week. >> open the doors and tell the world the truth. >> reporter: a plot dan crown could have come up with "angels and demons." conspiracy and intrigue nothing new to the vatican but his seven-year papacy has been consumed by public scandals. on sunday the pope faced demonstrators accusing him of covering up evidence in the 198f the young daughter of a vatican employee. thought to be buried in the tomb.

meanwhile, the embattled pope is said to be deeply saddened by the arrest of one of his closest aides. people cannot understand how a modest man would betray the pope. >> the notion this betrayal could have come from somebody who was in the papal apartment and a member of the papal family, obviously causes -- is going to cause a great crisis of caution. >> reporter: this morning the italian papers are filled with intrigue as the investigation intensifies and here's where it gets really interesting. the papers say that the butler is just a messenger. that there is a network of vatican insiders behind the leaks including a so far unnamed cardinal who is orchestrating it all. this is one to watch. elizabeth, josh? >> and as we honor those servicemen and women lost on memorial day, there now is growing concern the u.s. may in fact be headed for another military showdown. to that end we are joined now by

the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general martin dempsey from washington this morning. and good morning to you, general. i do want to get to your thoughts about memorial day in just moments but let's turn to recent events including leon panetta who told jake tapper on sunday we have plans to implement any contingency we have to in order to defend ourselves. this occurs after a breakdown in iran's nuclear program. at what point, general, will a military solution be the only one available? >> well, you know, josh, that's not my call to make. my job is to provide options on behalf of the joint steves and the combatant commander to the commander in chief who will then determine when the current track which as you know emphasizes political diplomatic and economic sanctions, when that path is exhausted then he may come to that but that's really not my decision. >> but when we speak of

implementing any contingency, are we in fact ready to attack. >> you know, i've got -- we've got forces postured in the gulf for any number of reason, some in support of afghanistan, some that have -- are still in the process of going out after our long war in iraq. those forces can be turned, but there are no -- i would describe our current stance in the gulf as defensive and deterrent in nature. >> the drawdown in afghanistan. according to the president again the combat mission will end december 31st. secretary panetta said the taliban had been weakened, however the chairs of the senate and house intelligence committees having returned from afghanistan said they were briefed and they now believe that the taliban is in fact stronger than it was before the surge and in two years' time will they be ready to go it alone. >> two questions here. one, are the taliban stronger today? and i would say absolutely not.

now, that said, i think from my own personal experience i think the taliban leadership remains confident. and some of their confidence is that they believe that, you know, that because of their ideological base that they can wait out both the government of afghanistan, the democratic government of afghanistan and us. and that's why that strategic partnership agreement was so important. >> general, we did not discuss recent events. this is your first memorial day as chairman. you recently visited with the children of fallen soldiers. how does it resonate with you? >> it was competing emotions. it was incredibly uplifting to see them together sharing their experiences and supporting each other and it's just tragic to see what they've gone through at such a very early age. you know, very few, thankfully, very few families in america have had the experience of being handed a folded flag because of

the loss of a loved one in combat. and so, you know, some of us recall those sacrifices every day, but the nation on this day as a body should remember their sacrifice. >> certainly today of all days, general martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. we do appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. all right, josh, thanks so much. now to lady gaga pulling out of her sold out show in indonesia. the pop icon canceled her upcoming concert in jakarta after religious authorities threatened violence over her wild outfits and dance moves. this is just the latest in a long spring of protests and controversy following her wake through southeast asia. >> she held out for quite some time. the millions of little monsters around the world go ggoogoo for

gaga but she may have met her match. she's known for pushing the limits with her lyrics. and her body flaunting fashion. >> gaga. >> and all that has arguably made gaga the most controversial woman in the world. so much so, she risks physical harm if she sets foot in indonesia for her concert so she's backing down under furious pressure from local authorities there announcing sunday her sold out show in jakarta will go go on. she tweeted out to her nearly 25 million followers, "we had to cancel the concert in indonesia. i'm so very sorry to the fans and just as devastated as you if not more. you are everything to me." for weeks gaga had been facing heavy opposition from religious and local leaders who demanded gaga tone down her provocative style. >> i don't think it was anything more complicated but just them

responding to her standard issue gaganess. they kind of think she's the devil. >> gaga initially insisted the 52,000 ticket holders would still see a show in indonesia but protests by hard-line islamic groups continued and threats of violence grew louder and some speculate she was answering protesters when she tweeted saturday "there is nothing holy about hatred." all the risk of violence proved too great for the show to go on. she may have the last word. >> this notion of lady gaga a dangerous pop star and that's only going to help her. >> lady gaga tweeted sunday she will try to put something special together for her little monsters in indonesia and that her love for the people of jakarta has only grown. >> 52,000 folks bought ticks. will they get refund. >> certainly a lot excited of the promoter says they will get refunds. >> it follows on protests in

south korea where christian roots protested to her risque act, her risque costumes. she is causing a lot of controversy. >> not the first artist to be banned from a country. >> it is rare for an artist to cancel a concert due to security. isn't it. >> certainly. >> john, thank you very much. >> thank you. all right. well, sam, there goes your extra time but what do you have. >> sorry. >> thanks, elizabeth, for that in-depth question on the lady gaga situation. elizabeth, john, nice story by the way. welcome back to "gma." hello, everybody. let's talk about that storm system that's going on into the southeast. we've shown you it was just very close to a hurricane many strength as it moved onshore but now pauses in north florida, south georgia for 24 hours. very heavy rainfall, 4 to 6 inches. as ginger mentioned at the top of the show it's needed rain in the area. here's where the storms are lining up. got your barbecue plans stay with your local abc news stations and abc news radio to know when they're popping up, dallas, oklahoma city,

>> all that weather brought to you by capital one venture card. have a safe holiday. >> go fast. >> hey, still to come on "gma," new lead now in the case of a missing college student, her bicycle has been found. now the police are re-examining this surveillance tape. could it hold the clues to her whereabo whereabouts? >> an 80-year-old woman's first sky dive goes horribly wrong but thankfully has a safe ending. the heart-stopping moments were all caught on tape. we'll show them to you next. justin bieber has had enough. take a look at this. him taking on a photog. now the police are investigating.

spotted her bike under a bridge off interstate 10 in the river, 27 miles from her friend's house in lafayette where she left on her bike and vanished. >> you know, it's a big break for us. >> reporter: police would not reveal the bike's condition. investigators are zeroing in on this area. searching on foot, by atv and on the water looking for any sign of the 22-year-old college student. >> we've expanded as wide that we feel comfortable we don't miss anything and so it is quite a large area down there beneath the bridge. >> reporter: and over the weekend another major break, police positively identified shunick in these surveillance images. they are the first pictures of her taken just minutes after she left her friend's house at 1:45 p.m. heading home. police want to speak with the drivers of three vehicles on video at the same time. they're looking for this white four-door chevy truck. this older four-door sedan and this white newer model pickup truck with tinted windows.

tash that patterson said she recognizes that truck. two months ago patterson was riding her bike when a midd middle-aged white man offered her a ride. when she got in she says he offered her money for sex. >> he says he rides around town all the time trying to pick up pretty girls. >> reporter: police say they received hundreds of new tips this weekend and for mickey shunick's friends and family that's giving them new hope. >> her attitude every day we'll bring mickey home today. we are. it's going to happen. >> reporter: for "good morning america," yunji de nies, abc news, atlanta. >> and we want to bring in abc news consultant and former fbi profiler brad garrett who joins us this morning from our washington bureau. brad, finding both the bike gives you a lot of clues, the condition of the bike and the location of the bike. let's start with the condition of the bike. what can that tell you? >> a number of things. perhaps where she was hit, in other words, was this intentional? was it an accident? you're going to have possibly paint from the vehicle.

you may have dna both mickey's and the suspect's. and you may well have fingerprints. and all of those are going to be key. the direction that the bike was found, in other words, 25 to 30 miles from lafayette, telling me that the suspect had to get rid of this bike because of social media and the communication and the fliers. he did not want to be linked to this bike so it also gives you a direction of flight. where was this person going? is the bike location relevant as to where mickey may ultimately be, that, of course, remains to be seen. >> this area is nearly 30 miles away from where she disappeared. and it's surrounded by swamp land. it would seem to be a dumping place in essence. someplace where you wanted to get rid of pieces of evidence you didn't want found >> that's exactly right and it was just luck apparently that a fisherman spotted it and called the bike in but the odds of us finding that bike were remote.

this is a great, great lead. >> great lead potentially great forensic evidence for investigators to pore over. we also have those security cameras that showed three different vehicles near mickey shunick's early morning hours she was rides on the bike. police are looking for the drivers of those vikes. why? what is it they're hoping to find. >> two thing, a possible suspect but maybe a witness. in other words, mickey is on a route to go approximately four miles to her home. every frame that you can capture of who might have seen her, stopped her confronted by her, vehicles around her and particularly stop lights, this is almost like a frame by frame, elizabeth. if you can capture as many frames as possible you may come up with a suspect. >> but bottom line, brad, given the fact they found this bike in this location so far away, the swampland, does this raise or dash hopes of typing mickey shunick alive at this point. >> it doesn't make me feel good at all about what he's done with the bike.

and it means that he wants to hide. he doesn't want people to know who he is. and if he discarded the bike lord knows what he may have done to picky. >> let's hope that your instincts in this case, brad, with all due respect are wrong and we'll still find her healthy and alive someplace. thanks for being here this memorial day weekend. >> now to the video we've been really discussing and showing all morning long. an 80-year-old woman on her first ever sky dive, something of a hostile diver and then something goes terribly wrong. an ordeal you can see caught on tape. now she's talking about it and, in fact, even laughing about it which i suppose, dan harris, is good news unto itself. you're here with much more on laverne's leap. >> i like that alliteration. you look at this video and think she she'd be really to say the least bummed out but she is a tough one and seems utterly unfazed by this birthday lark that has turned into a viral video and now a federal investigation.

it starts out as a charming little tale about 80-year-old laverne everett celebrating her birthday with her inaugural sky dive. >> i just turned 80. >> happy birthday. >> but when they're up at 13,000 feet the nerves set in and when it comes time to jump she is grasping at the door. it looks like she does not want to go. her instructor finally gets her out the door. from there, though, it only gets worse. laverne's safety harness comes loose. she's dangling there, her shirt whipped up clinging to her instructor for dear life as they tumble at 125 miles an hour. watch as they finally come back down to earth. incredibly managing to land safely. >> oh, my god. >> but while on this videotape, laverne seems shaken up. >> whoa. >> when tv station kovr caught up with her she seemed to have a sense of humor about the whole thing. >> i just held on.

you do what you have -- i got to do, you know. >> reporter: that moment where she appeared to be having second thoughts she says her instructor did not force her out. >> he had to give me a little judge. >> reporter: and she says it's a blessing that her shirt blew up blocking her view. >> i had just one little peek hole of light shine through. i didn't get to see anything. >> i guess you could call that a blessing. i admire her ability to find blessings in unusual spots. we should say the federal aviation administration sent an inspect story investigate that skydiving company. as for laverne she has already picked her next stunt. she wants to ride a race car now. >> at least she'll get her harness on properly. >> let's hope. >> on ground. she looks like she was definitely having second thoughts about going on that. >> i think she admits she was having second thousands but she says she still wanted to do it. >> oh, my god. >> second thoughts. i think she was having 70 second thoughts. who are we kidding. sam, she's down safe.

2/3 of americans overweight holidays are a challenge so we thought we'd give you inspiration from a fitness expert who helps people get in shape by getting out of shape for the first time in his life. dora dogis has long struggled with her weight. at her heaviest she weighed 374 pounds. >> i had high blood pressure, sleep apnea, was exhausted all the time. even at work i literally -- >> her average breakfast, fried spam, four eggs, eight buttered slices of toast and cheese. >> she didn't have the know-how or the knowledge of how to lose weight and maintain it with successful weight lot. >> so she turned to personal trainer paul james who had a singular insight into what she was going through for when we first met him he had seemingly the perfect body. why go from fit to flab. >> the reason for doing it was to better understand and

empathize with my clients. there's a lot of people who can't come into the gym because they feel embarrassed and appreciate someone to walk a mile in their shoes. >> reporter: the goal, gain 90 pounds in six months on purpose and then spend six months after that losing it all. >> i'm eating a lot more now. i'm making really poor choices but i'm not doing it intentionally. just grown on me. >> reporter: it's featured in "fat and back" and new book "take it off and keep it off." >> i'm struggling with getting back in shape and realize it'll be a long journey back. >> he did make it back and it helped dora drop a whopping 198 pounds in just 15 months. going from a size 30 to a size 8. and he's helped countless others transform their bodies and keep the weight off. as for dora, she's just 20 pounds away from her goal weight.

unbelievable. and the author of take it off keep it off joins us now and p.j., you basically spent, what, four months eating nonstop. you got up to 264 pounds. what was it like? >> initially it was fun obviously to break free of routine but then when you start to sort of get a look at the way you feel and the way your body looks things turn south very quickly. >> so you got almost 100 pounds packed on to this frame that hadn't been there before. how horde was it to go back and lose that weight. >> yeah, well maintained it for another two months to really understand the psychological impact and emotional impact and then to switch that off and then, you know, deal with the cravings and the habits that i had formed was very difficult and took all of six months to take off. >> again, talking about the body but you mentioned the psychological -- what was it for you? >> yeah, i think what i totally underestimated was the actual emotional side of thing, i didn't have a chance to

transition into the body that i had gained and i found that very difficult just to understand, to come toer terms with and the feeling that i experienced along the way, but the good thing is it's been very rewarding and a great experience. >> understanding your clients much better. you have the ko-90 plan. three basic parts and first begins with the cardio workout before breakfast. how come. >> called fast and cardio. 15 minutes of cardio is burning stored fat so important to burn the stored fat not eating meals and burning that food you just had so it's tapping into your stored fats and starting off your day positive in a positive way. >> that metabolism working for the first food you touch. >> absolutely. >> you recommend and we hear about have smaller meals but you recommend three meal, two snacks and a lot of water. >> absolutely, water is really good. obviously to hydrate you but works for skin elasticity and overall look and fueling your body, there's no shortcut, fueling your body throughout the

day with really good food, protein, carbs are important, as well and minimizing your fats is the secret. >> then you actually do recommend weight lifting four times a week, 50 mens a day. a lot of people say that's going to make me too bulky. why do you recommend that much? >> yeah, absolutely, it's really important for skin tone and also for muscle tone. even for women, women tend to shy away from weights, but as you've seen just with my female clients as well it does work and targeting things with the three-pronged approach with cardio, weights and healthy eating so they all work together as a matrix to help get in shape quickly. >> you're a what -- what are you at right now? you were at 264. >> back to 176 pounds. >> these jeans once upon a time fit you. i do want to see this. >> okay. >> take a look at this. >> these are the jeans that i basically can slide into.

little girl who just couldn't let go of her daddy's hand when her daddy was leaving to go serve this country. >> yeah, frank rogers and i wrote the song and showed up at the stooud joe and said hey, how about this photo and it just, you know, of course, made me emotional seeing it. >> looking at that photo if we can show it one more time. you see that sea of army green soldiers and that girl in her colorful dress old enough to know daddy is going someplace dangerous. >> but not really understanding at all and the after-thought i had was god bless the commander who allowed her to be there because normally it wouldn't be allowed and her mom was calling her to come over there but she wouldn't let go and every article i found on that had that headline. >> you spoke to that family last night. >> i did. you know, facebook we're all griping about right now is great for us to keep in touch with our fans and people, you know,

rockville. still holding tight to that 64. but edgewood at 75 right now. more of the same in chestertown and middletown and goldsboro and 72 in elkton. let's go in towson where we are seeing lots of sunshine. and that will continue as we go throughout the day. maybe a few high clouds trying to stream in. and maybe a possible isolated shower or thunderstorm to pop up during the heating of the day. but all in all, we will stay dry. and that's the main story is the heat. so we have a heat advisory in effect at lunchtime today until 9 this evening. for the areas here, shaded in the orange color. you will couple the hot temperatures with the humidity and we are going to be feeling it as we go throughout the day. but the satellite and radar not picking up on a lot. nice and dry as of now. and again maybe a couple showers popping up but all in all not too bad out there. if you want to deal with wet weather. you will have to head to the south where we are looking at another tropical storm out there. tropical storm b-eryl weakened a bit but bringing much needed rain to portions of georgia and

also florida. we widen out the view and see what's going on with tropical storm b-eryl. winds sustained at 40 miles an hour and it's moving off to the west at about 7 miles an hour. and it will take that northeastern jog and once it does that, it stays away from us as we go through time. something good we like to hear. future trend picking own a couple isolated showers possible as we go into the afternoon but mainly dry conditions will prevail. our best chance for wet weather moving in here as we go into tomorrow evening. lingering into tomorrow morning. but for today, that temperature coming in right around 90 and it will be hot feeling more like we are in the mid-90s and we cool down heading into the weekend with more storms.
